European Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele said Monday in Brussels that he believes it is useful that Serbian President Boris Tadic and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed Kosovo this past weekend.

Fuele said he is not familiar with the content of the talk, but the United States' involvement in finding a solution for Kosovo is beneficial to all sides.

According to a press release which the State Department delivered to a Tanjug correspondent on Sunday, in the phone call which happened at the initiative of the U.S. State Secretary, Clinton appealed to Serbia to continue its efforts aimed at normalizing relations with Kosovo.

The U.S. Secretary of State also added the United States is ready to help both sides.

Talking on the sidelines of the ministerial meeting in Brussels, where the situation in Kosovo is one of the topics on the agenda, Fuele commented on Sunday's EU accession referendum in Croatia, calling its outcome a positive message to Serbia and other countries in the Western Balkans.

They should take advantage of the momentum created by Croatia's successful preparations for EU accession, Fuele concluded.
